'Typical Tuesday' ahead after storms pass through Minnesota
Storms Monday night into Tuesday morning that caused damage, delays and power outages throughout wide swaths of the metro are mostly behind us now, with a more pleasant Tuesday ahead (despite the chance of a few stray rumbles later in the evening). Temps will top-out around 80, with lower humidity than Monday, but it will still be a little muggy into the evening.
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Strong storms are packing a punch in the Twin Cities metro early Tuesday morning, but the skies will clear out for patchy afternoon sunshine and possible late-day rumbles.
Tuesday's forecast
Thunderstorms are pushing from the east early Tuesday morning, hitting the west metro at around 5 a.m. A severe thunderstorm warning was issued for several counties including, in part, Hennepin and Scott counties until 5:45 a.m. and Ramsey and Anoka counties until 6:15 a.m.
These storms are dropping heavy rain, lightning, and strong winds. However, after these storms push out, the rest of the day will stay relatively dry, but an isolated rumble cannot be ruled out later in the day.
It will not be nearly as hot on Tuesday with a high of 80 degrees, but the humidity is still hanging around.
Looking ahead
Wednesday looks nice and mild, with a high of 79 degrees. We could see more scattered storms on Thursday, but the remainder of the week looks pleasant and relatively dry.
Labor Day weekend is starting out on a beautiful note, but temperatures drop into the lower 70s as we enter September.
